bullet boy trailer

The narrative for the film Bullet Boy is: about a man recently off parole attempting to straighten out his life, with negative results.
While on his way home from prison with his friend Wisdom, a wing mirror is hit off of another gangster's car by Wisdom who refuses to pay for it. Ricky, played by Ashley Walters, hides a gun in his room which his little brother Curtis finds.
Wisdom attempts to hunt down the gang member, named Godfrey, for spreading word that he doesn't want to fight, and to get revenge shoots his stafforshire terrier that he threatened Wisdom with earlier. As a result, Godfrey destroys Wisdom's car with a baseball bat and drives past his home shouting that he is "dead". Wisdom tries to kill Godfrey before he gets killed by him himself, but fails and is seen by Godfrey.
As the two flee from here, Curtis accidentally shoots his friend Rio when Rio suggests they take the gun out and play with it, and their mother eventually asks Ricky to leave the home.
Just before heading home, he goes to Wisdom's house to get the money Wisdom told him to take before he left, only to find Wisdom dead, presumably at the hands of his rival, he leaves after sitting there for a long time thinking. As he packs his bags, he asks Curtis to go to the takeaway and get a kebab, and when Curtis returns, his brother has already left. As Ricky is waiting at the train station, two gangsters approach him.
As Ricky is about to run away, Godfrey comes out and shoots him six times in the chest. His body is later identified, and the film ends with Curtis reclaiming the gun from where he hid it and throwing it in to the river.

setting of the in the trailer is seen as being a slum or ghetto, this is easily said because the typical stereo type attached to a area inhabited by people of a African Caribbean origins is normally seen as being a ghetto. In the trailer there is a distinctive image of a tower block, this is a sign of poverty in London and is therefore associated with the black ethnicity and poverty of London, this puts a sense of reason in the audiences minds, as they can see that there is a poverty struck area, gangs are inevitable, gang wars are inevitable and crime in all shapes and forms are inevitable.

Toderovs theory of equilibrium is not easily done for trailers as it mostly applies to the films, but from the trailer you can see that there is no set equilibrium in the start, you can see a state of equilibrium when there is a scene where the protagonist hugs his brother and there is a scene where the car is going through the streets, you could say that this is the equilibrium because everyday struggles are expected in the ghetto. disequilibrium happens when the police raid his house and keeps everybody at gun point, there is a reason to that but the audience doesn't find out until the next scene in which the little brother of the protagonist is holding a gun. only a glimpse of new equilibrium is seen when at the end of the trailer when there are two boys running through the field.

super bad analysis

It with the typical conventions found in the genre of comedy and sub genre of teen movie i.e. sex and drugs. examples of other typical movies wich share the same conventions as super bad would be "American Pie", "The Girl Next Door" and "mean girls".

Characters:
All characters shown in the film have very typical status's in school, Fogell is the Geek, Seth is the Rebel and Evan is the underdog. Their roles are represented through their actions and behaviour. the behaviour shown by the geeks is that of which is typical of highschool kids, they are not excepted in normal and social society so they form there own hierachy in which there is a dominant male (seth) the unknown boy (fogell) and the inocent boy (evan).

Narrative:
The narrative of this film is very easily predicted, the odvious there will be a big party, there needs to be booze but someone cannot get it so its left up to a random guy. The protagonist of the film almost always serves as an underdog. He falls for a girl that is much much more popular than he is, therefore in order to get her to notice him he trys to impress her in a number of different ways. For example, purchasing alcohol.

Iconography:
The 3 boys attempt to use a fake ID to purchase alcohol to give to the girl that Evan is 'in love with' and by doing this Evan would 'impress her . From the fact that 3 boys who are in high school have purchased a fake ID to buy alcohol, viewers can connote they may be buying the alcohol to get girls drunk in order to sleep with them. this glamourises the use of alchol.).

The details of the film are set up in the traditional harry potter style font and this is how you know that it is a continuation.

Analysis of the Opening Sequence to: Heroes, “don’t look back”

Episode 2: Don't Look Back starts with a shot of the Heroes' logo (the globe in a shot of a solar eclipse), many shows do not have there own logo; they might have an opening title but not a logo. The opening sequence gives an insight into what might happen. The world covered in an eclipse is an obvious hint that the programme is going to have dark times ahead. A narrator’s voiceover saying the words previously on Heroes followed by a shot’s of 5 different people, introduces them and tells the audience what previously happened on Heroes. An enigma is created through the narrator introducing the characters but not really naming or stating there powers, that creates mystery and as it is still only the second episode this adds to the effect of increasing the tension and results in making the audience much more eager to know the rest of the story. The voice doing the voice over is then found out to be one of the characters in the show - in this episode, it is Mohinder and he is a scientist with no powers.The scene where peter is on the roof about to fall off uses a wide range of camera angles and views , when he jumps off the roof the camera uses a panning motion to follow him, the camera then merges with peter and you see what he sees when he is flying. This image then quickly cuts into an image of Peter laying in a hospital bed this, along with the stop in voice over, emphasises the idea that Peter's destiny is out of his control. This scene, mainly coloured blue and white this creates an effect of flash backs However

CROSS MEDIA EVALUATION

Simpsons

1)the media text i have chosen to evaluate is simpsons becuase it has been a succsessfull tv series and that made them make a much awaited film (the simpsons movie)

2)

The opening scene is shown only for 25 seconds to 45 seconds.
firstly the long shotshowing the front of the house shows the satire of the urban household.
the simpsons are the typical nuclear familly, homer is shown coming back from work so he is the traditional breadwinner whereas marge is shown coming back from shopping with the baby at the supermarket. The kids are shown coming back from school. They all meet in a confusing manner in the living room which shows that the familly is a well functioning, and it also portrays the typical nuclear familly. this text is basically showing the day to day stuggles in the american working society. The way the simpson familly arrived: homer, marge, bart, then lisa. This shows the american fammily hierachy, and how the fammily arrives in order of importance.

the institution has also produced various simpson games aswell as the simpson movie game, so this is an example of horizontal intigration.

4)


the trailer is odbiously an animated trailer of the simpsons and the trailer has many camera angles eg. the first look at homer is a extreem close up and the the next time we see homer it is a extreem long shot and the type of camera angle affects the type of mood the protagonist is in. the film producers spent alot of time trying to develop a movie quality film, because the simpsons is just a series shown on the tv, so they made the trailer look very movie like, they added a narrater to also give a very film like affect. the trailer shows every character in an order of most appearing, so that is why you see homer first then the rest of the characters.

5) www.sidereel.com/The_Simpsons_Movie

the poster shows something within springfield burning which conotates negative things eg. destruction deah ect. The poster shows the main familly(the simpsons) and they are striking a pose which is similar to that of a pose of a god for example, this shows the role they play in the whole movie. the text is bright and very attractive to the eye and therefore is a very good marketing stratagy.

6)the primary audience for the series is probably a middle to working class becuase they can relate more to the simpson familly, the primary audience for the film would be the simpson series viewers, the secondary audience is very open to everybody since thereis something for everybody.

title: the simpsons
primary audience: males and females aged 8-25
the typical 16 year old will now be able to understand the more adult jokes made and not just focus on the slapstick side of the simpsons.

title:the simpsons movie
primary audience:males and females aged 8-25
the typical sort of person who would watch this is the series viewers because they can always understand the characters and the enviroment that is set in.

1st) A Rapper's Ambition: becuase they didnt just except what they had to use, no, they researched even more to find new software to be able to use speacial effects. the use of different angle's and shot's and the music background they used made this the best production

2nd) saving faith: becuase the production was very life like and gleemed with originallity

3rd) face of fear: becuase the production was very well set out, i thought it engadged the audience and really made the audience feel like it was showing at the cinema, due to the affects and just the amount of time that was put into it it really should have won best horror.
